“Edie does an amazing job creating a fun atmosphere centered around delicious, healthy, authentic food. Leaving the event, you feel that you both learned something and had a great time. She made our remote work event fun and friendly, and I would recommend her for any remote cooking experience.“

“I cannot recommend Edie enough, her custom menu and her class far exceeded my expectations. We laughed, we cooked, we had an unforgettable experience. And, I can’t wait to make the spicy tomato jam and coleslaw again!”

“Our Zoom class was like cooking with an extremely knowledgeable friend who loves cooking and wants to share techniques and guidance with you. I learned new knife skills techniques and how to prepare and cook certain vegetables that I had never made before; I felt absolutely comfortable asking many questions, and Edie was happy to answer them all.“

About chef Edie

chef Edie Dourleijn - owner creative cook co

…

Curious and creative cook Edie Dourleijn will be your class host and chef.

As a former picky eater who couldn’t cook, Edie started to document her way into learning to cook and eat everything as one of the first food bloggers of her home country The Netherlands (in 2006). To spice up her cooking and learn all that is possible in the kitchen, she attended culinary school.

This led her to develop recipes, help cookbook authors and publishers with her culinary knowledge, write articles about chefs, ingredients and other fun cooking related subjects. To help curious home cooks, she developed a cooking course filled with experiments and fun.

Now living in California, Edie continues to teach and coaches everyone who wants to have a great time being in a kitchen.

And yes, Edie adores alliterations.
